RED CROSS CONTINUES TO SUPPORT BISSELL SEARCH
Posted: July 28th, 2010 11:17 AM
The Oregon Trail Chapter of the American Red Cross is continuing to support the search and rescue operation for missing camper Robert Bissell in the Roaring Creek Wilderness area near Rock Lakes.
For the third day, the Chapter has deployed an EKRV (mobile kitchen) along with volunteers to serve lunch, snacks and beverages to an estimated 50 workers. The mobile kitchen will be on site from approximately 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Red Cross support for this operation is expected to continue through Sunday, Aug. 1.

In Oregon, the American Red Cross shelters, feeds and provides emotional support to victims of disaster an average of 10 times a week; supplies more than 90 percent of Oregon's blood; teaches thousands of Oregonians lifesaving skills; offers transportation to seniors and the disabled; provides international humanitarian aid; and supports military members and their families. The Red Cross is a charitable organization – not a government agency – and depends on volunteers and the generosity of the American public to perform its mission.
